**Official Portal 2 thread**

As I explained to 5UB just now, portal 2 is leaked already on consoles, not the PC. But console and PC steam accounts are both linked, so any time played on Portal 2 on the leaked console version, goes towards the PC steam account. Hence why people are playing it or have been playing it for the past few days.
 
Yeah was just gonna suggest that your friend is obviously playing it on his PS3! :p

Edit: Infact wouldn't surprise me if valve bans everyone who has steam activity on portal 2 early.

And the ingame screenshots that appear on some profiles are done on the PS3 aswell or?

Does the ps3 version not have a cd key or anything for steam then? If you only need to download a free ps3 version to activate it on pc then thats a bit stupid of valve
 
The key is for you to activate Portal 2 on Steam PC. All you do on PS3 is log in to Steam and link your PC account to your PSN account.

I'm pretty sure you should be able to screenshot on the console too.

That's the only way you'd be able to play, if you could by-pass the activation for the PC, people would have found a way by now and everyone would be doing it instead of collecting potato's.
 
You can trick the steam into showing the ID for any game you like so long as you know the ID code for it (620 for portal 2 I think). Replace the ID tag for a legit game with the desired ID tag, play legit game and it will show the desired game in your profile/chat.

Aye this is 1 thing, but some people have screenshots on their steam page from Portal 2. Unless they hacked those as well some how, because they look remarkably similar to other portal 2 screenshots already released.

Maybe make a quick level for Hl2, gmod or similar and have the leaked screenshot as a wall texture? A lot of effort but doable.

Surely that wouldn't work as the game is locked still? That and the fact everybody would be doing it for epeen :p
